Central Catholic Announces 2025-2026 Tuition
Providing World-Class Education at Highest Value
The 2025-2026 academic tuition has been set at $17,700.
The Board of Directors at Central Catholic is keenly aware of the financial challenges facing families.
Guided by our Marist mission and commitment to provide you with the best experience in private, Catholic education at the greatest value, we recently met to determine how to maintain our excellence while addressing rising costs for families and our school.
Affirming our commitment, we have set next year’s 2025-2026 tuition at $17,700 which is an increase of 4%.
While most schools are seeing significant increases in tuition, we continue to maintain one of the lowest tuition rates among private and Catholic college-preparatory schools in the region.
We are proud to provide every Raider a safe place to reach beyond her and his comfort zone to become successful young adults. Most importantly, the life-long values of love and compassion for one another remain the foundation of Central’s family spirit.
Thank you for being a valued member of the Central Catholic Family and for entrusting us with your student!
We look forward to welcoming you back to campus in the fall.
